Snow Tubing at Kingvale

We took the kids snow tubing a couple weeks back. The last time we went to the snow, Jason was a baby while this was the first time for Amara. I put together a short Family Snow Tubing video for your enjoyment. It's about 4½ minutes long, but it flies by.

Off to the Land of the Pharaohs!

We are off to the Land of the Pharaohs so don't expect any updates until we return. Looking forward to seeing the pyramids, the sphinx, Abu Simbel, Luxor, the Nile and other sites as we tour Egypt. I expect we'll fill our digital camera with tons of pictures and we'll take hours of video. Won't that be a fun project to compile when we return!

Halloween 2004 - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

In her most impressive sewing to date, Felicia had us all clothed as historical figures, namely Genghis Khan, Billy the Kid, Napoleon, Socrates, Abraham Lincoln and Joan of Arc.

For any fans of
a certain "most excellent" movie of 1989, you'll remember that characters Bill and Ted were in jeopardy of flunking out of history. Through the use of a time machine masquerading as a phone booth, they gathered various historical figures for use in their "most excellent" history presentation, for which they impressed their teacher and got an A+. I say that Felicia deserves an A+ for her sewing this year!
